Letsencrypt is under US jurisdiction. Is there a free-er alternative?

I know that I can simply make my own private certificate authority that only I and my family trust. But is there some public provider like letsencrypt that is in a free-er part of the world than the US?

Let’s encrypt is very transparent and has been designed to be auditable. What are you worried about exactly?

That the U.S. government can arbitrarily take down websites by revoking certificates issued by let’s encrypt? How obvious can it be? I wondered the same thing as OP months ago. We need european alternatives. I think there are some, have some bookmarked somewhere.

Certificate revocation is a joke and has been for over a decade

Huh, FF on Android doesn’t care.

Most browsers don’t, hence my calling revocation a joke.

So many in this thread are up in arms about something the majority of browsers don’t care about and have actively ignored for as long as I can recall

Yeah, I was just surprised bc the page explicitly lauds FF for checking revocation.

It may only be the desktop version, most mobile browsers aren’t as feature complete as their desktop counterparts.

But, given Google ripped revocation checking out of chromium, I wouldn’t be surprised if they nerfed it in Android too…
